As a result of yet another apparent email hack, a somber and emotional break-up letter to the Alabama Crimson Tide from the CFP Selection Committee has once again been made public. CFB News Now has exclusive access to the contents of that letter, which is included in full below.
“We’re writing this letter through tear-filled eyes right now. This the most difficult thing we have ever had to do…
Yesterday, the unthinkable happened. We’re still processing things on our end, but unfortunately, Clemson beating SMU means we’re going to have to take a break from this relationship.
It’s not you. We know everyone says that, but seriously, it’s not. We still ranked you 11, but because of the automatic bids granted to the top 5 ranked conference champions—a rule we created specifically for you—you’re going to be the first team out.
We know it probably comes as a shock, it did for us, too. You’re still getting a nice bowl game. (And if you’re curious about what ReliaQuest does, we’re not 100% sure, but it has something to do with artificial intelligence and security. Hopefully, you’ll have time to read up on them before you get to Tampa.)
Anyway, we don’t really know what else to say at this point, except we still love you, we’re just not in love with you any more. Not this year, at least.
Anyway, we’ll think of you always.
Until next season, <3,
The Committee”
